LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – NV Energy is still working to restore power after a severe windstorm caused sweeping power outages across the valley Tuesday.

An energy spokesperson stated that as of Wednesday morning, around 93 outages are still impacting 2,857 customers. The number of customers affected by outages was listed as 20,485 at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

NV Energy crews have been working to restore power quickly and safely overnight and into the morning. Additional crews will also be brought in to relieve crews that need rest.

As of 8:30 a.m., NV Energy says more than 60 power poles have been damaged by wind and need to be replaced. As power is restored, crews are working to isolate outages to the smallest number of customers possible. Though a spokesperson maintains that damage is significant and will take time to restore, and customers should be prepared for extensive outages.

Those impacted by outages can find emergency shelter at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor Authority in the South Hall (Room S2 with parking in the Siler Lot on Joe W. Brown). RTC will be available for transportation, if needed.

Buses will continuously run to LVCVA from the Walmart located on 3075 E Tropicana until 2 p.m. today.
